Consumer electronics are electronic gadgets meant for personal use instead of commercial. They might improve an individual's living experience or provide entertainment, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions. Consumer electronics require maintenance to prevent rust, quick wear and tear, and loss of efficacy.

First, place electronics in locations that do not experience excessive heat or cold. Ideal locations also prevent exposure to water and other hazards that may damage the devices.

Next, avoid overcharging consumer electronics. Overcharging them wears out the batteries faster. Therefore, unplug the gadgets as soon as they achieve a full charge.

In addition, invest in protective casings for consumer electronic devices. For example, individuals should keep smartphones, tablets, and laptops in protective cases. The cases prevent major damage if they fall off surfaces. 

Lastly, clean devices regularly. Unplug them, clean the electronics with the proper tools, and ensure proper lubrication. Clean screens, like computers and televisions, with microfiber cloths and wipe surfaces to prevent dust build-up.
